http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2011/nov/25/strange-goodbye/
The decision was made to sell my 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe. It was not an easy decision... My entire life has changed. This year has seen the death of 5 friends. A couple of the guys were like brothers to me. Old friends, cherished friends. I also lost a job ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2011/nov/25/strange-goodbye/Styleline Deluxe: It’s Hard to Change Direction When You Are Falling Off A Cliff

November. I’m driving south on 5 near Sea World Dr. during the afternoon rush hour. Happy as can be, not a care in the world except the itch on my arm from the flu shot I just endured. Then I realize my ’59 Apache is making a strange noise. Then ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2011/feb/16/its-hard-to-change-direction-when-you-are-falling-/Styleline Deluxe: Additional Art... new photographs.

I just picked up some pictures from Nelson (I have them developed straight to CD). All of these shots were taken at Nite Owl Gallery Tattoo in Bankers Hill... I was shooting 400 speed B&amp;W film. Thanks Dan, Andre and Nikki for putting up with my camera stealing a bit ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/nov/26/additional-art-new-photographs/Styleline Deluxe: Artistic interlude.

It's been a long time since I posted... frankly it's because my '52 has been stuck in the garage. A good friend of mine has been helping me re-wire the car, but he got a job with a trucking company doing long haul work. I think that he is somewhere ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/nov/23/artistic-interlude/Styleline Deluxe: Technical: How to lube a speedometer.
http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/jul/21/technical-how-to-lube-a-speedometer/
I read a few articles and decided to give it a shot.. I have taken gauges apart before, but this is the first time I have attempted to lube a speedometer. From what I read, it seemed easy so here we go... NOTE: Don't touch the numbers or the gauge ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/jul/21/technical-how-to-lube-a-speedometer/Styleline Deluxe: Spaghetti!

My 1952 Styleline Deluxe spent the winter and spring sleeping in the garage under a layer of dust. The only time it got any attention was when I needed to get out of the house to actually hear a phone call over the din created by my small sons. I’d ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/jul/06/spaghetti/Styleline Deluxe: Sheep to the slaughter
http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/may/11/sheep-to-the-slaughter/
The summer was over. I had the cash in hand from the sale of my ’29 project and Mario’s garage was ready. The Styleline made its last trip powered by that 58 year old 216. Sheep to the slaughter. The day that it was backed into the garage at Mario’s, ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/may/11/sheep-to-the-slaughter/Styleline Deluxe: Out Of Order Update: 1959 Apache... sidetracked!
http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2010/jan/05/out-of-order-update-1959-apache-sidetracked/
I was responsible. I had a perfectly nice 2000 Nissan Xterra. Airbags, AC, backseat for the boy. Almost new tires, nice paint. It even had a Sony stereo that played MP3s. No way could I keep it. My 52 Styleline was off the road and I couldn't stand it!

I'm jumping ahead, but I really can't help myself. The new engine, transmission and rear end are in the car. It's a hopped up 250 ci 6 cylinder out of an early 70's Chevy pickup.. The transmission is an automatic with overdrive from an '89 Camaro. The rear end is ...http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/tikicult/2009/nov/28/out-of-order-update-lowering-and-drivetrain/
